Josephine

Spend a few midday hours on a Saturday or Sunday inside Josephine's sun-dappled dining room and you'll wonder why the rest of the world doesn't spend weekends this way, too. Brunch here is as thoughtful and hospitable as dinner—with the added bonus of cinnamon sugar doughnuts. There are also light starters, like yogurt with granola and a Bibb lettuce salad with bacon and herb buttermilk dressing, but we highly recommend dropping any dietary restrictions for the day and indulging in a Dutch boy burger, topped with a fried egg.

What to order: Brown butter waffle with blueberry compote and a side of sugar cinnamon doughnuts
Brunch Hours: Saturday-Sunday 10 a.m.- 5 p.m.
2316 12th Ave S, Nashville, TN 37204; 615-292-7766; josephineon12th.com
